Breaking news: HBG takeover

balmain were crap in the 1990's
I was there at BRLFC voting for the merger, after seeing weeks earlier Fitzgerald come in and give a pitch to balmain members with some mocked up Parramatta Tigers hats.
it was either merge or bust
Wests Tigers gave us a premiership

I mean its all like so long ago. But also. The HBG are lying scum. Just [This word has been automatically removed]1ng nonsense.

If Tommy was alive he wouldn't support this. Footy clubs are about more than victa jerseys and mascots. Do you really think people are going to let Wests Magpies jerseys run out at Leichardt Oval against their will?
 
I overheard a conversation recently where a suggestion was made that could possibly, please both sides of the JV.
Instead of playing in the traditional tiger colours, we could adopt the Siberian Tiger colours of white and black and black and white as our home and away jerseys
The club is still called the Tigers, and we still have the Tiger claw stripes.
How does everyone feel about that as a compromise.
Mate a SIBERIAN tiger is mainly gold with white a secondary colour and black a tertiary colour.
 
my friends are souths supporters they’d be stoked to have richo back. they reckon they went downhill after his departure
 
People still don't think this is coming from Dennis? He is just fall guy for the anger and just sits on the right side of the ledger where the power is concerned.
They have rolled the dice now so much so that they are prepared to risk losing Richardson. This is more than a Jersey emblem issue imo.
They waited till they had sured up Campbelltown and are prepared to divide the supporter base in the face if self interest.
 
Who cares dude, seriously. You’re really showing yourself as a rusted on the way you are carrying on about it.
not a fan of turning the club back to wests magpies that's all
so yes I do care
the rusted ones can head to lidcombe if they choose
Just leave Wests Tigers Alone
oh wait
 
I hope HBG try to re-establish the Magpies as that will be the trigger for the NRL to revoke their license and take control of the club. The NRL will never allow the return of the Magpies or Balmain.

How HBG still operate with the muppets they have is beyond me. Taking Balmain away will remove more than half the fanbase. Good luck trying to fund this club with half its current fan base. There is ZERO economic viability to it... Shocking to think these people see themselves as businessmen and women.
 
Yeah sack Burgess. Your guy is obviously not doing his job.

How can there possibly be a lack of communication when you have representatives on the Board, I don't get how anyone could say something so dumb.

It would be like me complaining about the lack of information from my kids' school, when my wife attends every P&F and information night.
Actually in this case your wife would be on the P&F and actively involved in decisions made
 
That doesn't help, mate. Allow me to balance the viewpoint and see the fireworks it creates . . .
Hapless, small time and incompetent, huh ? As opposed to Balmain . . . that beacon of competence and corporate brilliance.
I refuse to denigrate boobs. They are fantastic.
Like everyone else, I'm disappointed with all this and await the outcome. Hopefully it's not all doom and gloom.
Balmain had the credentials to get into the NRL … guess who didn’t and got punted until the Tigers saved their backsides?
 
Very frustrating, this makes zero sense, there HAS to be more to it then what's been stated.

The reasons for the sackings are ridiculous and I'm having trouble seeing how they can get away with it.

HBG represent the Wests Magpies, enough said.

I know it's not a Magpie vs Balmain thing but I'm not the one who's looking for a fight..the dumb a** Magpies are.

And I mean dumb, they haven't been successful for 50 fricken years, inherent losers and Balmain were doomed the moment they saved their backsides.
